Rev X
Going to add some Rev X with Rotella T6 poil change this weekend in my 2007 F250 6.0L. Is it necessary to remove the pipe and pour it straight in or can you just add it to the oil fill tube? Does it really matter?

Some guys like to remove the standpipe in the filter housing and pour it through the hole in the center of the housing, by doing this the revx goes directly into the HPOP reservoir and gets to the injectors faster.

It has more to do with a more concentrated mixture getting to the injectors first whereas in the sump the "snake oil" is diluted with the engine oil.
Given that it seems to take at least a day or about 100 miles to show a result, adding it to the sump it likely the easiest thing to do.

Surprised no one has asked yet, so I will ask. Why are you adding RevX to your oil? If you are trying to prevent something, it won't work. If you are trying to fix something, it won't work. It might help briefly, but it won't fix anything and it will come back. I tried it, everyone said not to but I did anyway. It got me about 2,000 miles and then stiction came back. Waste of money. Save it and fix the offending injector(s).

Josh my snake oil buddy I agree it dosent work instantly, it took 1-2oo miles to kick in. But it did work.
Spd I no what your saying and I have to be honest I spent the money knowing I would march in for a refund. Instead I don't believe it either but I have around 3000 miles and still running like new.
Only thing I now add oil to the fuel ...geez if I know

I splashed two bottles in my oil filler tube and let my already warmed up truck idle for 10 minutes. The next morning idle quality was noticeably better. 3/4 of the way through the next oil change it was back to it's old ways. I think it does have some value as a diag tool in that if it helps, you likely have stiction issues.
I put the product in before seeing Bill's (powerstroke help) video about pouring it in the oil filter standpipe hole but I take some of what he says with a grain of salt anyway
